Stradalli Cycle Pro Team Shows Toughness on West Coast Trip

It didn't go as planned. It was close and the Stradalli Cycle pro race team was so close to making a huge statement. The entire team was racing strong at the San Rafael Sunset Criterium but then the big crash happened which took out 2 Stradalli Cycle racers including USA Crits Leader Ruben Companioni. While the racers are fine the crash did manage to knock Ruben out of the overall points lead.

"Ruben and Jose are ok, it was a bad crash and I'm just glad they weren't hurt. It's a tough break but that's cycling. The same thing just happened in the Tour De France when Nairo Quintana missed his chance to win because he was caught up in a crash which ultimately led to Chris Froome winning his 2nd Tour De France. These things happen and there is still time left for Ruben to catch back. It's going to make for an exciting finish for the end of the season." Stradalli Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher

He is cycling in this state and he is the exact kind of person this sport needs and we need to have as a sponsor. He understands the vision this company has and wants to be a part of it in a big way. We are having a great season but we have to compete in all areas of the country and the world to prove we are the best. It's time Florida has some major races and that will never happen without the help of Bill." Stradalli Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher

Morning Ride Before Vancouver

Stradalli Cycle Sunday morning woke up happy with what they accomplished in Saturday night’s race but ready for more. After a nice breakfast they will head out for a 2 hour ride before packing up and heading to Vancouver for the Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix.

“We are looking forward to the trip, it’s going to be beautiful scenery but the guys were already talking about the Grand Prix, 20 minutes after they finished the Andersen Banducci Twilight Criterium. They want to keep getting better and they love taking on tougher competition.” Stradalli Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher

Stradalli Cycle Does Great at NCC Andersen Banducci Twilight Criterium


A stacked field and big crashes did little to slow down the Stradalli Cycle Pro Race Team Saturday night at the Andersen Banducci Twilight Criterium in Boise, Idaho. It was a USA Crits AND NCC Crits Race which means the field was stacked with tough competition.

The team refused to allow the excuses to stop them.They will leave Boise, Idaho with Ruben Companioni still in first place in the USA Crits overall standings. Hector F. Aguilar also raced well and should be jumping into the top 5. But those weren’t the only racers that did well Saturday night.

Yosvany Falcon, Abel Quintana, Jose Frank Rodriguez and Sebastian Morfin all spent time near the lead, often times going head to head with some of the top names and teams in professional cycling.
Stradalli is waiting for confirmation but it is believed that the team is in first place overall in the USA Crits series which means they could hold the top team spot as well as individual.

“This race was unreal. It was just top team after top team out there and I didn’t know what to expect but every time, no joke, every single time the field came around I saw a group of our guys together. Sometimes it was a few guys, sometimes it was 2 groups of 2 but they stuck together the entire night to make sure we did our best overall. People will look at the standings and see Ruben and Hector and that’s awesome, but if you were at the race tonight you saw every Stradalli Cycle pro racer near the lead. That’s pretty cool!” Stradalli Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher

Ruben Companioni was very appreciative of how his teammates supported him throughout the race. “Every time I looked up there were guys trying to box me in, right on me trying to beat me. That orange jersey is like a target when you are out there. But every time I got put in a tough spot or a disadvantage one of my teammates either came up with me or went ahead to help break up the leaders or do something that helped me get back up in line. It’s not easy going out there knowing every team and racer wants to slow you down but when your teammates are literally fighting for you, it makes you want to try even harder because you know they are doing it for you.”

There are still plenty of races to go but a statement was made tonight by the team. No matter where it is, no matter who is in the field, the Stradalli Cycle pro race team is not only here to compete, but they are here to win.

Stradalli Cycle Pro Race Team’s West Coast Trip

The trip started out with team captain Grant Potter, back from his surgery, stopping by to see the team off and help pack the bus because Grant can’t stand still for more than 2 minutes. And the help was greatly appreciated considering how much stuff is needed for a trip like this.
If you haven’t followed professional cycling, or you are watching the Tour De France, you will not believe how much work goes into being ready for a trip like this. It’s not like a pro cycling team can stop for McDonalds the entire trip. (Special thanks to MetRX and Pure Protein btw for providing snacks on the trip. This may be the first road trip in history where everyone is getting healthier while traveling.)
20150708_082549
This is my first cross country trip but the thing that amazes me the most is the chemistry this team has. People see racing as an individual sport but half the day in the bus is spent with the team working on their strategy, talking about the track itself and studying the other teams that will be there. You would be amazed how much planning goes into everything. Even meals are planned out; should you focus more on protein, carbs, when to hydrate and so much more.
But why so much planning? Stradalli Cycle pro racer Ruben Companioni currently stands in first place in the overall USA Crits Series. The Stradalli Cycle pro race team is 2nd overall. To win one championship is special, to win both, you don’t have to be a cycling fan to understand why that is such a big deal.
It’s not all work, in fact you can’t even call this work because of all the laughs and good times we have had already. Team owner Tom Steinbacher has been beat up by the young guys in the training sessions but has kept the mood light the entire trip.

The entire Stradalli Pro Race Team wants to thank our amazing sponsors as well as the members of the Stradalli Cycle family we have gotten to see along the way.

Stradalli Cycle - Safetti Pro Racer Ruben Companioni Leading USA Crits Overall Series


http://carbonroadbikebicyclecycling.com/news-blog/
Stradalli Cycle -Safetti pro racer Ruben Companioni is now on top of the USA Crits Overall Men's standings after finishing in the top 3 at the Hyde Park Blast in Cincinnati. Companioni is not the only one on top as Stradalli Cycle-Safetti Smart Wear and Texas Roadhouse Cycling p/b Stradalli combine to own 4 of the top 10 spots in the overall standings. Now it’s 4 Stradalli bikes in the top 8.

“It’s really cool to look at the board and see your guy at the top, but to see so many other guys in the top 8 and even more of our guys are inching up on the top 10 as well. Before this season we set a goal, to build the best possible team. I wanted the team to work together to get the best results and if you look at the standings right now that’s what you will see.
Now it’s 4 Stradalli bikes in the top 8. We’ve had plenty of doubters but when you look at what we have achieved I think the results speak for themselves.” Stradalli Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher

If that wasn’t enough, the Stradalli Cycle-Safetti Pro Team currently sits 2nd in the overall team standings for USA Crits. With a great mix of athletic youth and seasoned veterans who have seen and done it all in pro cycling, this team is poised to win a lot more jerseys with their full carbon road bikes leading the way.

“The last trip we just came back from says everything you need to know about who this team is. Guys are giving teammates their bike to finish a race, helping out in any way they can to make sure Ruben got the lead, working on improving in the team standings, not missing  training because they were tired or complaining because of how long the trip was. I have never seen a more focused team than the one we have this year and the irony is they are all having a lot of fun.” Tom Steinbacher

It is amazing how focused the team is. They face another big challenge coming up as they head to the Andersen/Banducci Twilight Criterium in Boise, Idaho on Saturday, July 11th.

“We love the competition, that’s when we seem to do our best. This was a long road trip but we got stronger as it went and that’s because we love being a part of this team. When Ruben got into first in the standings we all felt like it was a team win, not just his win. Our goal the rest of the season is make sure he stays at the top and we take the team overall championship as well. We know we can do it because we’re in July and we are still here." Young Stradalli Cycle Pro Racer Abel Quintana

The Boise trip will start another long road trip for the team but they are looking forward to the opportunity to compete out west again and prove they belong at the top of the standings where they intend on staying the rest of the year.
